It is relatively difficult. Currently, we live right in the middle and very cheaply, but as soon as there is a child, we would have too little space. At the moment, you only get relatively old apartments or they are similarly expensive. Personally, I had come to terms with renting for a long time. The idea of building came rather when we "won the land lottery" . My commute would be about the same length, but much faster because I wouldn’t have to go through the city center anymore (the main roads in the city are simply broken and overcrowded at important times, there are hardly any "detour routes"). Theoretically, we have a building plot at my parents' place, but understandably, she does not want to go there. Some equity capital is additionally available, but not initially planned for the house construction, or rather planned for in case the buffer is not sufficient. Carport and paving were included in the offer, the rest will be lawn and hedge for which a buffer was planned. The kitchen is budgeted at around 10k, for example. We had an offer from a construction company that builds turnkey and has a rather high standard, and it was just at 2000€ per m². This is a low-wage area after all . According to Interhyp, our house is an average price for the region in terms of costs.
